She Lives without Regret in This Life

Capítulo 877: Chapter 918: This Grandpa Is Really Pitiful

Sheng Ning felt a bit tempted, not to become an official, but to add to her future capital. Her gaze inadvertently glanced at Zhao Lanzi, and her heart skipped a beat.

“No way!”

“What?” Su Hai was very surprised, even doubting he heard wrong. After all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, with countless people racking their brains trying to squeeze in.

Is this girl out of her mind?

Zhao Lanzi heard that Sheng Ning was also going to college and immediately felt restless watching her. It was only when Sheng Ning refused that she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

“I don’t have the time for that. Besides, I’m with the union, why would I go to university?”

Su Hai, being so cunning, couldn’t possibly not realize the reason for her refusal. But he said nothing, shrugging his shoulders, “Suit yourself.”

“Grandpa, I really need your help with my sister’s situation.” Sheng Ning had once vowed never to ask the Su Family for anything, but for An’an’s better future, she felt that her so-called pride and self-respect were insignificant.

“I know, I know, don’t worry. I’ve already talked to my old friend, and I’ve arranged a special admission spot for An’an.”

When someone truly wants to help you, they don’t need you to bring it up personally; they’ll get it done. Sheng Ning knew that grandpa was genuinely doing this for her good, and she felt unconsciously closer to him.

“We don’t need a special admission spot.”

“Yeah, I don’t want a special admission. What special admission, it’s just a backdoor.” An’an expressed indifference, “Even though I haven’t studied for over a year, I used to get good grades, and I’ll definitely get into the university on my own merit.”

“Alright then, I’ll find you a workers’ high school in our compound, and let’s see if you have the ability to get into university.”

“Grandpa, don’t underestimate me; I was even better in school than my sister back then.”

“Hahaha… Our An’an is really promising.”

“Of course, I’ll make big money in the future to honor my parents.”

The people in the living room couldn’t help but laugh kindly, even Su Hai had a smile in his eyes.

Mr. Hai sat at the side, watching the Su Family being so lively, and his old friend laughing with such joy, he felt more and more sorrowful in his heart. His Bao’er, where exactly is she?

Why can’t she be found even after all this time?

Every time Mr. Hai thought of Bao’er, his heart ached as if something were blocking it, making it hard to breathe. As long as Bao’er wasn’t found, his eldest son wouldn’t move back.

Sigh…

Mr. Hai let out a deep sigh, waved to the back, and an assistant handed him his cane to support him, “I’ve got some matters at home, so I won’t bother you all.”

“Hey! Old Hai, where are you going? Today Ningning is cooking personally, don’t you love her dishes the most?”

“It’s alright; eating next time is the same.” Mr. Hai waved his hand and left shakily.

Mr. Su understood his old friend’s pain all too well, he should have known not to invite him over, as this only seemed to stimulate him.

An’an watched Mr. Hai’s lonely and aged back, and couldn’t help but say, “This old gentleman is really pitiful.”

“He’s not pitiful at all.”

“Exactly!”

“Oh!” An’an nodded, not even sure why. Just watching the old gentleman leave with a cane made her so sad, she almost cried.

The lunch was personally prepared by Sheng Ning, with the auntie helping out. The old gentleman and Su Hai accompanied each other in the living room, chatting with Xu Xianxiong. While the adults talked, An’an sat at the doorway alone, resting her chin in her hand, lost in thought.
